| Description | Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declared public school segregation unconstitutional, was "wrong to begin with," state Sen. Chris Buttars, R-West Jordan, said in a radio interview Monday.
The lawmaker responded to questions from reporter Tom Grover for 30 minutes on the news magazine "For The People" on Logan radio station KVNU-AM.
Buttars, who plans to introduce a bill in the 2007 Legislature that would allow the Senate to remove a state judge from office at the end of the jurist's term, spoke on a variety of issues concerning the nation's judicial system. When Grover mentioned that "courts are the way for those in the minority ... to ensure (their) rights are protected," Buttars responded with the following:
"I don't understand that at all. You give me an example. I don't know of any example where the minority is being jeopardized by legislative action." When Grover mentioned Brown v. Board of Education as an example, Buttars said: "Well, I think Brown v. Board of Education is wrong to begin with. That's a whole other subject. Call me again and take a half-hour to talk about that." |
